9.6.2 Complete Initialisation
8) 9.6.2 Initialise MOVA by entering the handset command INI=2. If the
OMCU application is not required, enter INI=3 to completely re-
initialise the whole unit.
[Prior to issue 10 – set the ‘Phone Home’ flag to 77]
Prior to Issue 10:
To re-initialise the MOVA unit, enter 'LF' to 'Look at Flags' from the MOVA main
menu and then 'S' to 'Set flags'. Then enter 'L' to select the phone home flag. The
MOVA unit will display the current value of the flag (normally zero) and ask for the
new value. Enter '77' and press ‘Return’. The 'Phone Home' flag is described in more
detail in sections 9.7.3 and 9.7.4 that start on page 131.
As always after a flag has been changed, the MOVA unit will display the current
state of all the flags again, but in this case, the unit will reboot before it has chance to
finish this display. After a few seconds, press ‘Return’ to re-establish
communications with the MOVA unit. It will display its current time and date which
will need correcting (see section 9.6.6) since it will have been reset along with the
rest of the MOVA unit's memory.
Issue 10 and later firmwares:
Initialisation of either a PB680 or a PB681 unit is requested using the enhanced INI
handset command:

On PB681 firmware, initialising the OMCU application using INI=1 does not clear any
MOVA data. Similarly, initialising the MOVA application using INI=2 does not clear
any OMCU data. However, the complete unit is rebooted after any INI command is
entered.
Complete initialisation effectively forces the ‘first time power-up condition’ by clearing
the entire RAM within the unit. It is recommended that ‘INI=3’ is entered when a new
PB681 unit is first installed to ensure that all data has been initialised. In addition to
clearing the working data of the OMCU and the MOVA applications like INI=1 and
INI=2 respectively, INI=3 also clears additional items which are not cleared by INI=1
and INI=2. This includes the handset commands PLS (section 9.6.3) and MIO
(section 9.6.4), the MOVA licence number (section 9.6.5), the real time clock (section
9.6.6), and all three MOVA site data stores (section 9.6.7).
